Two people are under arrest after the beating and shooting of a 66-year-old man in Montgomery on Saturday night.

The pair face felony charges after an armed robbery left the victim with two life-threatening bullet wounds.

Montgomery police on Saturday responded about 7:10 p.m. to the 1400 block of Beaumont Drive after receiving a call that someone had been shot, said Sgt. Denise Barnes, Montgomery police spokeswoman.

The victim was taken to a local hospital.

Ebony Nicole Cunningham, 28, was arrested Tuesday and faces a felony first-degree robbery charge. She is being held at the Montgomery County Detention Facility under a $60,000 bond.

Cunningham is alleged to have robbed the victim of his belongings after he was shot twice by another suspect, according to court documents.

That other suspect, Omar Parez Brooks, 34, of Montgomery, was arrested Wednesday and faces a felony attempted murder charge in connection to the shootings. He is being held at the Montgomery County Detention Facility under a $60,000 bond.

Brooks allegedly pistol-whipped the victim multiple times until the victim fell to the ground. The suspect is accused of then shooting the victim two times with a handgun while he was on the ground, according to court documents.

Neither Cunningham's nor Brooks' attorneys were available for comment as of Thursday morning.
